Tragedy
Play Is Second Artist Series
Newspapers Praise Norse
Actress in. Drama
Criticisms
By Enid Larson
Ibsen's tragedy, "Ghosts" will be pre-sented
with Madame Borgny Hammer
playing the leading role as Mrs. Alving,
at the Coliseum Wednesday, Decem-ber
4.
Madame Hammer is distinctly the
devotee of a tragic muse, and is there-fore
particularly suited to her part. The
term "tragic muse" applies to the old
Greek dramatic interpretation, which
masked the players, and made each
player as a mouthpiece of a god. Mod-ern
drama has robbed the drama of the
art of representation by reducing every-thing
to a scientific, matter-of-fact real-ity.
Ibsen, in his playwriting, as
Madame Hammer explains, realized that
the poetic or tragic conception of char-acter
had been all but banished from the
stage, and deliberately turned his back
on literalness. He refused to reduce
personalities to statistics. He believed
implicitly in the living symbols of art.
Madame Hammer believes implicitly
in these same symbols; therefore she
finds that wigs, paint, and make-up
material are of little help to her in her
art. She uses them only sparingly, to
lend to her face the qualities of a tragic
mask. She knows that when she catches
and gives expression to the inner move-ments,
or rhythms of her heroines'
souls, that the outer aspects of character
will take care of themselves and stamp
their impressions not only on her own
features but also on the minds of her
auditors.
Thus Madame Hammer strikes a sing-ular
note in acting. The Daily Times
Herald of Waco, Texas, summarized
the matter by stating in its review of
her performance of Mrs. Alving: "Mad-ame
Borgny Hammer herself is unlike
any other actress who has ever played
the role of Mrs. Alving here or else-where.
She is the muse of tragedy in
the early Greek sense of the word and
a goddess more primitive than Hera.
There is no melodrama in her, only a
crushing, ponderous reality. Her voice
is well controlled and strong, in keep-ing
with her tragic mask, and it is
'net vcace that she performs
such miracles with her lines."
Madame Borgny Hammer's presenta-tion
is the second in the Artists' series
this year, which will bring three attrac-tions
to the city.
Mirror Reporters
Interview Singer
"Hizi Koyke?" asked Carlo Peroni,
conductor, when asked about the scar
by reporters, "she is marvelous!" A
proud smile lit his face and he repeat-ed
it—"She is wonderful," a statement
which Dimitri Onofrei and Mario Valle,
B. F. Pinkerton and Sharpless, respect-ively,
promptly corroborated. The trio
were standing at leisure just before the
play and proved to be very friendly
and enthusiastic about the evening's
performance. Mr. Peroni remarked that
"Madame Butterfly" is one of their
most successful productions, due to the
unexcelled abilities of the leading lady.
Hizi Koyke was born in Tokyo 27
years ago and came to the U. S. when
15 years of age. She is the daughter
of a glass manufacturer in Japan and
because her mother died when she was
a child she was cared for by her grand-mother.
A wealthy Canadian women
persuaded Hizi's father to permit her
to bring the brilliant girl to this coun-try.
She continued her education here,
attended Columbia university and stud-ied
voice meanwhile. When Fortune
Gallo presented her to the American
public at the San Carlo theatre in New
York in the season of 1927-28, she was
only 19 years old.
Out of character Miss Koyke appear-ed
quiet and reserved, attired unas-sumingly
in a black outfit. She is
a small person, charming and exceed-ingly
graceful.
As Madame Butterfly she is the in-carnation
of Puccini's heroine. Her
grace and oriental beauty combined with
the lyric smoothness of her voice make
her today's foremost interpreter of the
role of Cho Cho San.
In her dressing room after the per-formance
Miss Koyke graciously begged
that she be excused, explaining that she
had been ill for a week and was work-ing
under a strain. Although she show-ed
signs of intense fatigue her re-marks
were genuine and her smile
friendly. Even so brief a glimpse of
Hizi Koyke leaves a lasting impression
of her extraordinary personality.
W.M.F. Founds $600 Fund
For New Scholarship Loan
Subscriptions received from the vari-ous
Ladies' Aid groups throughout the
state are increasing the scholarship
loan fund foundation of $600, which
was recently established by the South
Dakota district of the Women's Mis-sionary
Federation to be loaned out at
a low race of interest to needy juniors
and seniors.
Mrs. Einer A. Johnson, Watertown,
president of the organization, announc-ed
the association's decision to found
the scholarship fund, in chapel Fricray,
November 15. The Women's Mis-sionary
Federation was established to
create interest in the mission program
of the church, and the establishment of
this loan fund is one of its aims.

Under the direction of Prof. Hugo
Carlson, speech coach, the annual inter-society
debate tournament of Augus-tana's
six literary societies began Mon-day,
November 25, in the science lecture
room of the administration building.
Two teams from each of the six so-cieties
were entered. The Pi Kappa
Delta question this year is: Resolved,
that congress should have the power to
override by a two-thirds majority vote,
decisions of the supreme court declaring
laws passed by congress unconstitutional.
Representing the three women's so-cieties
were Adelphic: Clara Chilson, Sol-veig
Myrwang, Thordis Moi, and Mur-riel
Nuffer; Athenians: Marjorie Swan-son,
Catherine Schnaidt, Enid Larson
and Mary Wood; Philomathian: Flor-ence
Welsh, Dorothy Nervig, Mildred
Gullickson, and Ruby Jean Soberg.
Webs., Adelphics Get Byes
After unanimous decisions in favor
of the negative in the first and second
rounds of the annual inter-society de-bate
tournament, the Gladstonian team,
composed of Donald Lindvedt and Her-bert
Schapiro, and the Adelphic team,
made up of Thordis Moi and Clara
Chilson, both arguing the affirmatice
side of the question, came through to
place first in the final contest Tues-day
evening in Old Main chapel.
Winning over the Demosthenian team
in the semi-finals brought the Glad-stonian
team to argue the affirmative
against the Websterian team, which drew
a bye. The Adelphics received a bye
and were alloted the affirmative case
against the Philomathian team, who had
defeated the Athenian affirmative team.
Pairings Made
Drawings for the semi-finak placed
the Athenian affirmative, made up of
Marjorie Swanson and Enid Larson,
against the Philomathian negative team,
consisting of Dorothy Nervig and Ruby
Jean Soberg, with the Adelphics, rep-resented
by Clara Chilson and Thor-dis
Moi, receiving the Bye; and John
Doss and Raymond Dana, the Demos-thenians
upholding the affirmative side
against the Gladstonian negative upheld
by Donald Lindtvedt and Herbert Scha-piro.
Richard Youngdahl and John
Goldbuff, Websterian negative team drew
a bye.
Debates Listed
Debaters for the men's groups were
Gladstonian: Herbert Shapiro, Robert
Bragstad, Donald Lintvedt and Philip
Sundal; Websterian: Richard Young-dahl,
Clifford Johnson, Arnt Halvorson,
John Goldbuff; Demosthenian: William
Anderson, John Doss, Perry Devick and
Raymond Dana.
No members of Pi Kappa Delta were
eligible for competition in intersociety
debate. Judges were Dr. John Schef-fer,
Prof. H. M. Blegen, Prof. H. T.
Tollevs, Prof. Orin Loftus and Prof.
0. M. Hofstad, and one of last year's
debaters, Johnston Jefferies.
Unanimous negative decisions in the
first round of the annual inter-society
debate tournament paved the way for
the semi-final and final debates Tues-day.

Youth Seeks Goddess
Of Beauty In Search
Who writes of the ideal boy? Give
me a chance too, and hear my im-passioned
plea for an ideal girl. With
the image of the man imprinted on
your conscience consider this, the ideal
girl must harmonize with the appara-tion
of which you have just heard.
The ideal girl must never be perfect.
In other words, she must not be too
good for the ideal boy. I can im-agine
her, slim, youthful, vivacious,
cheery, a charming creature. She is
modest, of course; she is just reticent
enough to lure the ideal boy into the
trap of love; she displays mock despair
at his teasing; she is conscious always
of his masterfulness, and feigns help-lessness
to assist the course of the master
and has other characteristics too num-erous
to enumerate.
Her talk must be silvery, so her
silences may appear golden. Her form
is that of Venus; her etiquette that of
Emily Post herself. But when she is
in other moods, the ideal girl of my
vision reminds me of Gracie, so subtle
her humor, so daring her escapades.
This is not all. I could go on for-ever
on my favorite theme. But time
and paper forbid. The end.
Latin Club Has
"Roman,/ Banquet
Thinking Latin, thoughts, expressing
them in Latin conversation and garbed
in togas and wreaths, the members of
the Latin club assembled Friday, No-vember
22, at 5:30 for a banquet held
in the Gladstone Tearoom of the Y.
M. C. A.
Carry Out Theme
Adhering to Roman customs, the
group sang and marched around the
table three times before taking their
places which were marked by scrolls
bearing their names and the menu. A
typical meal was served consisting of
three courses. At the end of each
course a fingerbowl was passed. Two
candelabra furnished the light, adding
to the naturalness of the scene.
During the meal animal stories and
nursery rhymes were recited and sung in
Latin by Nellie Storsve, Solveig Myr-wang,
Marjorie Bloom, Phyllis Blegen,
Loretta Howe and Mary Christianson.
Each class presented a song. They
were accompanied by Marguerite Eidem.
Solveig Myrwang gave a flute solo and
Marjorie Iverson a violin solo. Loretta
Howe, Lucille Slaybaugh, Irene Olson
and Ruch Nimtz offered short toasts
in keeping with the affair.
Bloom in Charge
General arrangements for the banquet
were in charge of Marjorie Bloom,
president of the society, and Marguerite
Eidem headed a committee to arrange
menus. Miss Gratia Kjerland is ad-visor
to the group.
Latin songs were sung by the various
classes consisting of Regene Halvorson,
Marguerite Eidem, Marjorie Iverson,
Ardys Smeby, Lilyan Stensby, Phyllis
Hanse, Louise Hultgren, Edith Land-vik,
Olive Rislow, Alice Ellefson, Doro-thy

Students Advised
On Career Plans
By Agnes Larson
Unknown to the majority of students
is the literature on the selection of
careers possessed by the Augustana per-sonnel
department. Perhaps the most
valuable is a large volume entitled
- Careers" published by the institute for
research, devoted to research in profes-sions
and vocations.
Prof. Richard J. Guderyahn
Lutheran Hour Changed
To Morning Radio Period
To youth's inevitable question, "What
shall I be?" "Careers" gives an answer in
a panoramic view of "What there is
to be. - In the introductory monograph
-Selecting a Career," Harry Dexter
Kitson indicates that selecting a
tion is of such grave importance
it demands all the thought one can
give it.
Points Out Openings
There is no quick or ready-made de-vice
through which a vocational future
can be foretold. One cannot look for
some mysterious sign or wait for a
lucky chance; one must use reason based
on a thorough assembling of facts about
v ocations, and facts about one's self.
Too few college students realize the
necessity of a choice to enable them to
plan a course of training. Perhaps the
worst phase of the matter is that most
people think of only a small stereotyped
list of occupations: doctor, lawyer, en-gineer,
dentist, teacher, or secretary.
Students do not realize that other lines
of work exist. Mr. Kitson points out
that there are at least two hundred
major vocations and professions, with
several times that number of subsidary
places connected therewith in the world's
work.
No young person shou1 ,4 "drift" into
a life work, yet he cannot "decide"
what he should be until he knows
first what there is to be. In "Careers . '
the institute of research gives a panor-amic
view of fifty-two major profes-sions,
making possible an intelligent
choice, because it offers a full under-standing
of the requirements and the op-portunity
to consider and compare one
career with another. It makes possible
the checking of one's personality qual-ifications
with those qualities of char-acter
and personality which are essential
in the career.
Material Arranged
Other material recently received by
the personnel department is a series of
guidance leaflets on college counseling
and advising for the professions, issued
by the United States bureau of educa-tion
at Washington, D. C. The bulle-tins
explain the occupation, the pre-liminary
education required, where pro-fessional
training is offered, the length
of training, students' budgets, and select-ed
references. These may be obtained
for five cents a copy through the Su-perintendent
of Documents, Government
Printing office, Washington, D. C.
This literature on student guidance
is for the use of all college students.
The personnel office is open every hour
of the day and students are urged to
come in and utilize the material.
BORGNY HAMMER
Officials of the local radio station
KSOO, have found it necessary to
change the time for Lutheran hour
broadcasts from 4 to 5 in the afternoon
to 10:45 to 11:15 in the morning. The
voca- Federal Communications commission has
that ruled that KSOO be off the air by
sunset; so the Lutheran hour was made
a morning program to make room for
their commercial programs in the after-noon.
The musical talent for the 30 min-ute
broadcast is furnished by students
from the college. On Sunday Novem-ber
24 Warren Strain gave the address
and Myron Hokeness sang. May

The purpose of the assembly is to
determine the best type of curriculum
to accomplish the objectives of general
christian education. Dr. Hoyem will
report on the merits of the introductory
science course which was introduced at
the college this year.
Arrangements for the convention were
made by 0. H. Pannkoke of Quitman,
Georgia who is the committee chairman.
Noted Lecturer,
Traveler Speaks
One of the most vivid personalities
to appear in chapel this year, Rev.
James W. Fifield, Kansas City, Mo.,
lectured to the group Tuesday, Novem-ber
20, on his travel experiences in
Kentucky, Tennessee and North Caro-lina.
As lecturer, traveler and minister,
Rev. Fifield has spent years of his life
accumulating a background that bubbled
over in his tales of Kentucky and Ten-nessee
"crackers," and in describing the
attractions he had come to visit.
He gave a graphic description of his
entrance into Louisville, the gateway
of the Kentucky Blue Grass region;
of visiting, together with his negro taxi
driver, the monument of Zacharish
Taylor; the beautiful residence of Steph-en
Foster, author of "Old Black Joe,"
etc,; on Federal hill; the birthplace
of Abraham Lincoln; and. Mammoth
cave, where eight miles of tunnel had
just been opened, making a toal of 32
in the cave open to visitors. He told of
inspecting "Man of War" one of the
most famous Kentucky Derby horses,
at the Fenway farms; and of circling
the Kentucky Derby tracks "for the
thrill of the thing."
The anti-climax to the travelogue was
in Rev. Fifields story of the reward
of his faithful taxi-driver, a free ride
for him and his family in celebrating
the Fourth of July.
Candy Connoisseurs Are
Discovered In Book Store
There is a place in the basement of
the administration building that is called
the bookstore. It is a clearing h,..e..se
for all manner or sweetmeats, paper
items, personalities, implements of com-munication,
et cetera. It is a place
that, despite the valient efforts of the
attendants to make it strictly business,
reflects at times the secrets of the in-dividual.
Many an otherwise charming char-acter
has a sore spot, and too often
that spot is candy. President Don
Larson (for reasons obvious) pleads for
bargains; or what "isn't what it used
to be." If Queen Loretta Howe eats
candy, she doesn't buy it in the store,
the is either afraid of gossip, or opposed
to corpulency. Prof. Carlson asks for
"Cherry Humps," "you know, the kind
that trickle down your throat." Loftus
devours chocolate covered peanuts; and
Jimmie Berdahl dotes on "La Fama,"
especially when he is in the mood.
Sales of candy bars go in cycles.
"Dreams- seem to he overwhelmingly
popular just before class; before gym,
the co-eds eat "Tangos" and, on oc-casion,
"Power-house." Before week ends,
"Smooth Sailing" is a weak spot. And
so the endless cycle goes on, the calls
for stale two-for-a-nickel bars increase,
the post card sales soar, and the tax
money continues to tinkle down in the
little tin box.

Criticisms
By Enid Larson
Ibsen's tragedy, "Ghosts" will be pre-sented
with Madame Borgny Hammer
playing the leading role as Mrs. Alving,
at the Coliseum Wednesday, Decem-ber
4.
Madame Hammer is distinctly the
devotee of a tragic muse, and is there-fore
particularly suited to her part. The
term "tragic muse" applies to the old
Greek dramatic interpretation, which
masked the players, and made each
player as a mouthpiece of a god. Mod-ern
drama has robbed the drama of the
art of representation by reducing every-thing
to a scientific, matter-of-fact real-ity.
Ibsen, in his playwriting, as
Madame Hammer explains, realized that
the poetic or tragic conception of char-acter
had been all but banished from the
stage, and deliberately turned his back
on literalness. He refused to reduce
personalities to statistics. He believed
implicitly in the living symbols of art.
Madame Hammer believes implicitly
in these same symbols; therefore she
finds that wigs, paint, and make-up
material are of little help to her in her
art. She uses them only sparingly, to
lend to her face the qualities of a tragic
mask. She knows that when she catches
and gives expression to the inner move-ments,
or rhythms of her heroines'
souls, that the outer aspects of character
will take care of themselves and stamp
their impressions not only on her own
features but also on the minds of her
auditors.
Thus Madame Hammer strikes a sing-ular
note in acting. The Daily Times
Herald of Waco, Texas, summarized
the matter by stating in its review of
her performance of Mrs. Alving: "Mad-ame
Borgny Hammer herself is unlike
any other actress who has ever played
the role of Mrs. Alving here or else-where.
She is the muse of tragedy in
the early Greek sense of the word and
a goddess more primitive than Hera.
There is no melodrama in her, only a
crushing, ponderous reality. Her voice
is well controlled and strong, in keep-ing
with her tragic mask, and it is
'net vcace that she performs
such miracles with her lines."
Madame Borgny Hammer's presenta-tion
is the second in the Artists' series
this year, which will bring three attrac-tions
to the city.
Mirror Reporters
Interview Singer
"Hizi Koyke?" asked Carlo Peroni,
conductor, when asked about the scar
by reporters, "she is marvelous!" A
proud smile lit his face and he repeat-ed
it—"She is wonderful," a statement
which Dimitri Onofrei and Mario Valle,
B. F. Pinkerton and Sharpless, respect-ively,
promptly corroborated. The trio
were standing at leisure just before the
play and proved to be very friendly
and enthusiastic about the evening's
performance. Mr. Peroni remarked that
"Madame Butterfly" is one of their
most successful productions, due to the
unexcelled abilities of the leading lady.
Hizi Koyke was born in Tokyo 27
years ago and came to the U. S. when
15 years of age. She is the daughter
of a glass manufacturer in Japan and
because her mother died when she was
a child she was cared for by her grand-mother.
A wealthy Canadian women
persuaded Hizi's father to permit her
to bring the brilliant girl to this coun-try.
She continued her education here,
attended Columbia university and stud-ied
voice meanwhile. When Fortune
Gallo presented her to the American
public at the San Carlo theatre in New
York in the season of 1927-28, she was
only 19 years old.
Out of character Miss Koyke appear-ed
quiet and reserved, attired unas-sumingly
in a black outfit. She is
a small person, charming and exceed-ingly
graceful.
As Madame Butterfly she is the in-carnation
of Puccini's heroine. Her
grace and oriental beauty combined with
the lyric smoothness of her voice make
her today's foremost interpreter of the
role of Cho Cho San.
In her dressing room after the per-formance
Miss Koyke graciously begged
that she be excused, explaining that she
had been ill for a week and was work-ing
under a strain. Although she show-ed
signs of intense fatigue her re-marks
were genuine and her smile
friendly. Even so brief a glimpse of
Hizi Koyke leaves a lasting impression
of her extraordinary personality.
W.M.F. Founds $600 Fund
For New Scholarship Loan
Subscriptions received from the vari-ous
Ladies' Aid groups throughout the
state are increasing the scholarship
loan fund foundation of $600, which
was recently established by the South
Dakota district of the Women's Mis-sionary
Federation to be loaned out at
a low race of interest to needy juniors
and seniors.
Mrs. Einer A. Johnson, Watertown,
president of the organization, announc-ed
the association's decision to found
the scholarship fund, in chapel Fricray,
November 15. The Women's Mis-sionary
Federation was established to
create interest in the mission program
of the church, and the establishment of
this loan fund is one of its aims.

Under the direction of Prof. Hugo
Carlson, speech coach, the annual inter-society
debate tournament of Augus-tana's
six literary societies began Mon-day,
November 25, in the science lecture
room of the administration building.
Two teams from each of the six so-cieties
were entered. The Pi Kappa
Delta question this year is: Resolved,
that congress should have the power to
override by a two-thirds majority vote,
decisions of the supreme court declaring
laws passed by congress unconstitutional.
Representing the three women's so-cieties
were Adelphic: Clara Chilson, Sol-veig
Myrwang, Thordis Moi, and Mur-riel
Nuffer; Athenians: Marjorie Swan-son,
Catherine Schnaidt, Enid Larson
and Mary Wood; Philomathian: Flor-ence
Welsh, Dorothy Nervig, Mildred
Gullickson, and Ruby Jean Soberg.
Webs., Adelphics Get Byes
After unanimous decisions in favor
of the negative in the first and second
rounds of the annual inter-society de-bate
tournament, the Gladstonian team,
composed of Donald Lindvedt and Her-bert
Schapiro, and the Adelphic team,
made up of Thordis Moi and Clara
Chilson, both arguing the affirmatice
side of the question, came through to
place first in the final contest Tues-day
evening in Old Main chapel.
Winning over the Demosthenian team
in the semi-finals brought the Glad-stonian
team to argue the affirmative
against the Websterian team, which drew
a bye. The Adelphics received a bye
and were alloted the affirmative case
against the Philomathian team, who had
defeated the Athenian affirmative team.
Pairings Made
Drawings for the semi-finak placed
the Athenian affirmative, made up of
Marjorie Swanson and Enid Larson,
against the Philomathian negative team,
consisting of Dorothy Nervig and Ruby
Jean Soberg, with the Adelphics, rep-resented
by Clara Chilson and Thor-dis
Moi, receiving the Bye; and John
Doss and Raymond Dana, the Demos-thenians
upholding the affirmative side
against the Gladstonian negative upheld
by Donald Lindtvedt and Herbert Scha-piro.
Richard Youngdahl and John
Goldbuff, Websterian negative team drew
a bye.
Debates Listed
Debaters for the men's groups were
Gladstonian: Herbert Shapiro, Robert
Bragstad, Donald Lintvedt and Philip
Sundal; Websterian: Richard Young-dahl,
Clifford Johnson, Arnt Halvorson,
John Goldbuff; Demosthenian: William
Anderson, John Doss, Perry Devick and
Raymond Dana.

eligible for competition in intersociety
debate. Judges were Dr. John Schef-fer,
Prof. H. M. Blegen, Prof. H. T.
Tollevs, Prof. Orin Loftus and Prof.
0. M. Hofstad, and one of last year's
debaters, Johnston Jefferies.
Unanimous negative decisions in the
first round of the annual inter-society
debate tournament paved the way for
the semi-final and final debates Tues-day.

Youth Seeks Goddess
Of Beauty In Search
Who writes of the ideal boy? Give
me a chance too, and hear my im-passioned
plea for an ideal girl. With
the image of the man imprinted on
your conscience consider this, the ideal
girl must harmonize with the appara-tion
of which you have just heard.
The ideal girl must never be perfect.
In other words, she must not be too
good for the ideal boy. I can im-agine
her, slim, youthful, vivacious,
cheery, a charming creature. She is
modest, of course; she is just reticent
enough to lure the ideal boy into the
trap of love; she displays mock despair
at his teasing; she is conscious always
of his masterfulness, and feigns help-lessness
to assist the course of the master
and has other characteristics too num-erous
to enumerate.
Her talk must be silvery, so her
silences may appear golden. Her form
is that of Venus; her etiquette that of
Emily Post herself. But when she is
in other moods, the ideal girl of my
vision reminds me of Gracie, so subtle
her humor, so daring her escapades.
This is not all. I could go on for-ever
on my favorite theme. But time
and paper forbid. The end.
Latin Club Has
"Roman,/ Banquet
Thinking Latin, thoughts, expressing
them in Latin conversation and garbed
in togas and wreaths, the members of
the Latin club assembled Friday, No-vember
22, at 5:30 for a banquet held
in the Gladstone Tearoom of the Y.
M. C. A.
Carry Out Theme
Adhering to Roman customs, the
group sang and marched around the
table three times before taking their
places which were marked by scrolls
bearing their names and the menu. A
typical meal was served consisting of
three courses. At the end of each
course a fingerbowl was passed. Two
candelabra furnished the light, adding
to the naturalness of the scene.
During the meal animal stories and
nursery rhymes were recited and sung in
Latin by Nellie Storsve, Solveig Myr-wang,
Marjorie Bloom, Phyllis Blegen,
Loretta Howe and Mary Christianson.
Each class presented a song. They
were accompanied by Marguerite Eidem.
Solveig Myrwang gave a flute solo and
Marjorie Iverson a violin solo. Loretta
Howe, Lucille Slaybaugh, Irene Olson
and Ruch Nimtz offered short toasts
in keeping with the affair.
Bloom in Charge
General arrangements for the banquet
were in charge of Marjorie Bloom,
president of the society, and Marguerite
Eidem headed a committee to arrange
menus. Miss Gratia Kjerland is ad-visor
to the group.
Latin songs were sung by the various
classes consisting of Regene Halvorson,
Marguerite Eidem, Marjorie Iverson,
Ardys Smeby, Lilyan Stensby, Phyllis
Hanse, Louise Hultgren, Edith Land-vik,
Olive Rislow, Alice Ellefson, Doro-thy

Students Advised
On Career Plans
By Agnes Larson
Unknown to the majority of students
is the literature on the selection of
careers possessed by the Augustana per-sonnel
department. Perhaps the most
valuable is a large volume entitled
- Careers" published by the institute for
research, devoted to research in profes-sions
and vocations.
Prof. Richard J. Guderyahn
Lutheran Hour Changed
To Morning Radio Period
To youth's inevitable question, "What
shall I be?" "Careers" gives an answer in
a panoramic view of "What there is
to be. - In the introductory monograph
-Selecting a Career," Harry Dexter
Kitson indicates that selecting a
tion is of such grave importance
it demands all the thought one can
give it.
Points Out Openings
There is no quick or ready-made de-vice
through which a vocational future
can be foretold. One cannot look for
some mysterious sign or wait for a
lucky chance; one must use reason based
on a thorough assembling of facts about
v ocations, and facts about one's self.
Too few college students realize the
necessity of a choice to enable them to
plan a course of training. Perhaps the
worst phase of the matter is that most
people think of only a small stereotyped
list of occupations: doctor, lawyer, en-gineer,
dentist, teacher, or secretary.
Students do not realize that other lines
of work exist. Mr. Kitson points out
that there are at least two hundred
major vocations and professions, with
several times that number of subsidary
places connected therewith in the world's
work.
No young person shou1 ,4 "drift" into
a life work, yet he cannot "decide"
what he should be until he knows
first what there is to be. In "Careers . '
the institute of research gives a panor-amic
view of fifty-two major profes-sions,
making possible an intelligent
choice, because it offers a full under-standing
of the requirements and the op-portunity
to consider and compare one
career with another. It makes possible
the checking of one's personality qual-ifications
with those qualities of char-acter
and personality which are essential
in the career.
Material Arranged
Other material recently received by
the personnel department is a series of
guidance leaflets on college counseling
and advising for the professions, issued
by the United States bureau of educa-tion
at Washington, D. C. The bulle-tins
explain the occupation, the pre-liminary
education required, where pro-fessional
training is offered, the length
of training, students' budgets, and select-ed
references. These may be obtained
for five cents a copy through the Su-perintendent
of Documents, Government
Printing office, Washington, D. C.
This literature on student guidance
is for the use of all college students.
The personnel office is open every hour
of the day and students are urged to
come in and utilize the material.
BORGNY HAMMER
Officials of the local radio station
KSOO, have found it necessary to
change the time for Lutheran hour
broadcasts from 4 to 5 in the afternoon
to 10:45 to 11:15 in the morning. The
voca- Federal Communications commission has
that ruled that KSOO be off the air by
sunset; so the Lutheran hour was made
a morning program to make room for
their commercial programs in the after-noon.
The musical talent for the 30 min-ute
broadcast is furnished by students
from the college. On Sunday Novem-ber
24 Warren Strain gave the address
and Myron Hokeness sang. May
Schimke is the regular accompanist. Solos Featured In Choir Presentations;

Hoyem, Loftus to Attend
St. Olaf Teachers' Confab
Dr. A. G. Hoyem of the Physics de-partment
and Prof. 0. M. Loftus of
the Biology department will be Augus-tana's
representative at the Lutheran
college teachers' convention at St. Olaf
college on November 29 and 30.
The purpose of the assembly is to
determine the best type of curriculum
to accomplish the objectives of general
christian education. Dr. Hoyem will
report on the merits of the introductory
science course which was introduced at
the college this year.
Arrangements for the convention were
made by 0. H. Pannkoke of Quitman,
Georgia who is the committee chairman.
Noted Lecturer,
Traveler Speaks
One of the most vivid personalities
to appear in chapel this year, Rev.
James W. Fifield, Kansas City, Mo.,
lectured to the group Tuesday, Novem-ber
20, on his travel experiences in
Kentucky, Tennessee and North Caro-lina.
As lecturer, traveler and minister,
Rev. Fifield has spent years of his life
accumulating a background that bubbled
over in his tales of Kentucky and Ten-nessee
"crackers," and in describing the
attractions he had come to visit.
He gave a graphic description of his
entrance into Louisville, the gateway
of the Kentucky Blue Grass region;
of visiting, together with his negro taxi
driver, the monument of Zacharish
Taylor; the beautiful residence of Steph-en
Foster, author of "Old Black Joe,"
etc,; on Federal hill; the birthplace
of Abraham Lincoln; and. Mammoth
cave, where eight miles of tunnel had
just been opened, making a toal of 32
in the cave open to visitors. He told of
inspecting "Man of War" one of the
most famous Kentucky Derby horses,
at the Fenway farms; and of circling
the Kentucky Derby tracks "for the
thrill of the thing."
The anti-climax to the travelogue was
in Rev. Fifields story of the reward
of his faithful taxi-driver, a free ride
for him and his family in celebrating
the Fourth of July.
Candy Connoisseurs Are
Discovered In Book Store
There is a place in the basement of
the administration building that is called
the bookstore. It is a clearing h,..e..se
for all manner or sweetmeats, paper
items, personalities, implements of com-munication,
et cetera. It is a place
that, despite the valient efforts of the
attendants to make it strictly business,
reflects at times the secrets of the in-dividual.
Many an otherwise charming char-acter
has a sore spot, and too often
that spot is candy. President Don
Larson (for reasons obvious) pleads for
bargains; or what "isn't what it used
to be." If Queen Loretta Howe eats
candy, she doesn't buy it in the store,
the is either afraid of gossip, or opposed
to corpulency. Prof. Carlson asks for
"Cherry Humps," "you know, the kind
that trickle down your throat." Loftus
devours chocolate covered peanuts; and
Jimmie Berdahl dotes on "La Fama,"
especially when he is in the mood.
Sales of candy bars go in cycles.
"Dreams- seem to he overwhelmingly
popular just before class; before gym,
the co-eds eat "Tangos" and, on oc-casion,
"Power-house." Before week ends,
"Smooth Sailing" is a weak spot. And
so the endless cycle goes on, the calls
for stale two-for-a-nickel bars increase,
the post card sales soar, and the tax
money continues to tinkle down in the
little tin box.

Three Former Auggies
At Washington School
Three former students of Augustana
college, Margaret Solem, Burnis Rog-ness
and Harold Lindseth are engaged in
various activities at Washington, D. C.
Harold Lindseth, is attending George
Washington university and is preparing
for a career in foreign service which
will be completed in two years. Lind-seth
has recently organized an amateur
radio club, and is majoring in political
science.
Burnis Rogness who was graduated
from Augustana last year is employed
as policeman at the capitol. Rog-ness
plans to attend the George
Washington university law school in the
near future.
Also attending the university is Mar-garet
Solcm, who is studying library
science as a preparation for a possible
position in the Library of Congress.
Miss Solern studied under Miss Selma
Hogenson, Augustana college librarian,
during the summer session this year.
Professors Appear
On Recent Programs
During the past week the Augus-tana
college faculty has been well rep-resented
in many church conventions
and at regular church services as speak-ers.
Sunday, November 17th, Dr. I. B.
Hauge spoke on "Psychology and Spirit.
ual Values" in Rev. Oscar Severson's
church at Mitchell.
The Sunday school teacher's con-vention
of the Sioux Falls circuit, meet-ing
Sunday, November 17, at the Luth-eran
church of Rev. T. A. Johnson,
had for its theme "The Living Christ,"
under the direction of Dean Martin
Cole. Prof. H. Blegen and Prof. N.V. P.
Hieronymus spoke during the afternoon
session on "The Indwelling God" and
"How to Relate the Lesson of Life,"
followed by group discussions. In the
evening, the session, led by N. N. Ron-ping
of Minneapolis, member of the
Board of Education of the Norwegian
Lutheran church and editor of the
"Friend" magazine, presented Pres. C.
M. Granskou on "Education and the
Good Life."
Group Stresses Prayer
For Weekly Discussions
Oscar Hofstad lead the discussion
Thursday evening, November 21. "Per-sonal
experiences with Christ" was the
topic discussed.
It was affirmed by the group that
prayer must precede an approach to
Christ. And it was further stated by
the group "that Christ does not become
living in a individual before He is
both believed in and received into life."
